Multigauge V9
Pictures of the current/latest version V9:
This Multigauge is specifically designed for the Yamaha FZ1 Gen1 dashboard
(up to modell '05, in Europe: Fazer FZS1000) to replaces the stock fuel gauge. It shows various
informations about the status of the motorbike and provides additional functionality.
It is build around a digital processor and a liquid crystal display.
This is no official accessory and has no ties to Yamaha.
Multigauge V8.4 (limited batch)
A special and limited batch is available. This version is based on an alternative display with different
optical appearance and properties. For those who prefer the amber-backlight style. The display is
slightly smaller but has improved contrast. All functions are identical with V9.
Both display variants side by side for direct comparison: V8.4(left), V9(right)
Data and Functions
A brief overview and summary about the displayed data and implemented functions:
Gear Indicator: The currently selected drive gear, including Neutral. Calculated from
rpm and speedo informations.
Fuel: The fuel content in the tank. Corrections are applied to reach maximal accuracy.
The tank geometrie is modeled by a 10 point interpolation, fully customizable.
Water temperature: The orignal sensor signal is used, located in the thermostat housing.
Ambient temperature: Provided by an extra sensor that comes with the gauge.
Battery voltage: The current system voltage.
Speed and correction: The current velocity based on the speedometer sensor. Optionally corrected
by an adjustable static factor and a wheel-spin compensation. Readout in Km/h or MPH.
Speedometer correction: Correction for the original analog (needle) speedometer and odometer.
Applying a correction factor to the speed signal and feeding it back into the dashboard. Mainly used
in case of changed sprocket ratios.
Acceleration: A timer starting automatically at first move and counting up until a certain speed
or distance is reached (e.g. 1/4 mile).
Stop watch: Start/stop or laptime for use on race tracks. Optionally controlled by an extra
button at the handlebar.
Gear shift indicator: The warning LED starts flashing beyond a certain rpm value.
The limit can be set individually for each gear.
GPS Data: Showing GPS-Data from an additional, external GPS receiver (speed, height, course,
time, etc. ). The HW and SW is prepared to read and decode NMEA-data. The GPS receiver is not part
of the package.
Fuel Economy: Showing the current fuel consumption as miles-per-gallon or liter-per-100km.
This function requires to route an additional cable and tapping the fuel pump.
The displayed informations are grouped into several windows. The user can choose his preferred window
and arangement from a predefined catalogue.
A settings menu is integrated to change units and adjust or check sensors.

Limitations
The Multigauge's accuracy highly relies on the quality of the sensor data from within the dashboard.
Especially the tank sensor was never designed for high accuracy. Hence there might be situations where
the appplied computational "tricks" come to their limit.
Same for the battery voltage readout. The poorly designed Yamaha loom causes a significant and
floating voltage drop at the dashboard that can't be accounted for.
